From computing with numbers to computing with words - From manipulation of measurements to manipulation of perceptions

Lotfi Zadeh (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Computing, in its usual sense, is centered on manipulation of numbers and symbols. In contrast, computing with words, or CW for short, is a methodology in which the objects of computation are words and propositions drawn from a natural language, e.g., small, large, far, heavy, not very likely, the price of gas is low and declining, Berkeley is near San Francisco, it is very unlikely that there will be a significant increase in the price of oil in the near future, etc. Computing with...

A methodology for developing knowledge-based systems.

Juan Luis Castro, José Jesús Castro-Sánchez, Antonio Espin, José Manuel Zurita (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This paper presents a methodology for developing fuzzy knowledge based systems (KBS), which permits a complete automatization. This methodology will be useful for approaching more complex problems that those in which machine learning from examples are successful.

Systolic architectures for fuzzy processing and their simulation.

Luis de Salvador, Marcos García, Julio Gutiérrez (1994)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This paper details the study of systolic architectures for fuzzy rules processing made at the Hardware and Advanced Control Laboratory - INTA. The theoretical basis of these architectures is described and analysed. Likewise, the resultant schematics are simulated using a hardware description language (VHDL) with standard cells from ES2. This gives us a very accurate assessment of their real performance. In this way we can detect the inherent shortcomings in this class of systems and...

Relations of granular worlds

Witold Pedrycz, George Vukovich (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this study, we are concerned with a two-objective development of information granules completed on a basis of numeric data. The first goal of this design concerns revealing and representing a structure in a data set. As such it is very much oriented towards coping with the underlying it relational aspects of the experimental data. The second goal deals with a formation of a mapping between information granules constructed in two spaces (thus it concentrates on the it directional aspect...

Some ideas concerning fuzzy intelligent systems.

Senén Barro (1999)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This article brings together some ideas on fuzzy intelligent systems. We start from fuzzy controllers, and we reflect on the role of fuzzy logic in other domains in which, in spite of optimistic forecasts, advances made are still less significant. By way of example, we make mention of certain fields in which it is foreseeable that there will be significant advances made using fuzzy logic. Finally, we emphasise certain problems and proposals that we consider to be of interest. ...

An architecture for making judgments using computing with words

Jerry Mendel (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Our thesis is that computing with words needs to account for the uncertainties associated with the meanings of words, and that these uncertainties require using type-2 fuzzy sets. Doing this leads to a proposed architecture for making it judgments by means of computing with words, i.e., to a perceptual computer-the Per-C. The Per-C includes an encoder, a type-2 rule-based fuzzy logic system, and a decoder. It lets all human-computer interactions be performed using words. In this paper,...
